I'ts time to start the winter clean up. Pepper is my helper .TOday we found 5 gal bucket that we put beer bottles, old Tupperware, some strange tubing I don't know what is, a broken jar, and oil container, a cup, and that filled it to take to the trash. Hyia and I have cleared our section of the woods that no one else around her gives a dang about and now we begin on the next section. I don't know why my neighbors can't see the beauty back there that I do. Vic use to help, but now that he is blind it is harder for him to feel confident and the pace is slow. For Pepper it is exciting, closer to where she really wants to be and counts as a walk. I wish someone would come for the tires, we took out as many as we could, but after many calls to both cities, and even stream cleanup, the official answer was no one cares.
While we are down there will cut out the trash brush around the sapling oaks too. it takes such little effort, a few minutes a day and the progress has made this place so much nicer for all. Removing the honeysuckle and cutting it back has left room for better bird cover too.
